Fan of KFC's Double Down gets a tattoo of the sandwich on his body

While the world debates the merits of KFC’s notorious Double Down Sandwich, one man in Kentucky showed his love for the sandwich by getting it tattooed onto his leg.

That’s right, he had a tattoo artist permanently ink a copy of the sandwich onto his body for the entire world to see. I'm fond of the sandwich but that sounded a little extreme to me.

You can check out how it all went down at the food blog, www.grubstreetcom, complete with a video of the whole thing.

KFC announced last month that it was rolling out the breadless sandwich for a limited time. Nutritionists decried the calorie-laden sandwich but its popularity shows no signs of waning.

To go with that promotion, the national chicken chain also unveiled a number of promotions connected with it, including a contest to see who could take the best Double Down selfie and a contest to come up with a Double Down Dance.
